My grandmother, Betty Jane Baker Randolph, or “Nan Nan” as I know her, was born in Haleyville, Alabama. She lived with her mother, father, although her father died when she was only 13 months old, and her two older brothers. She has been a hard working woman all her life, I have never once heard her complain about a situation she has been in or complain about having to work even when it was a result of someone else’s lack of motivation. I have never once heard her say a foul word or something

Mommy, you and I have always been close, just as you and your mother were always close. We have similar interests, enjoy similar activities, and think alike. We also apparently look alike, too -- complete strangers regularly tell us that we're clearly related.

So it was only natural for us to talk about relationships. Even when I was in middle school, you started sharing with me the lessons you'd learned throughout high school, college, and your marriage with my Daddy. You told me to

My older sister, bless her heart, got engaged to her now fiance in November, and has set the wedding date to some time in 2015.

Don't get me wrong, I am super excited for my sister because she's about to embark on this huge journey in her life with her fiance, and it's an exciting time for everyone involved. However, in being an outsider, I can see certain problems.

My sister is 24 and still lives at home. She acknowledges that she can't afford to live on her own (and her

There are big debates going on in social media about if gay rights should be legal. I myself am against the idea of the same sex have the right to marry! The bible says that marriage is supposed to between man and woman! I live the laws of god so saying that I’m for it is going against my beliefs. The town I live in has almost the same beliefs as mine, so I have always been surrounded by people who believe the same things as me, so if I have ever heard about gay rights I have heard that it’s n

I have a huge issue about my wedding. I'm getting married in three years, maybe two it's up in the air. But the problem is my hubby's family lives in Illinois. My family lives in Pennsylvania. How in the world are we able to pick a place to get married so both families can attend? And also we are a Pagan couple. Does anyone know a pagan legally ordained person to marry us legally?

This weekend, I attended a breath-taking wedding in Pennsylvania. I wasn’t sure what to expect since the last wedding I attended was decades ago and I can barely remember much, but this one will be very difficult to forget.

As I walked through the cobblestone alleyway to get to the door, I held my date’s arm in hopes that I wouldn’t be the first guest to wipe out in these heals. We entered through the double doors into a room of eagerness and anticipation, all wrapped up into beautif

MEETING HER WAS LOVELY

We met by sheer coincidence on a summer day much like the day we will be married. My best
friend introduced us as the happened to be neighbors. I soon after asked her to be a last minute date to
my cousins wedding. Since then she has completely captured my heart. I admit getting married is
intimidating but being with Paula makes me feel like anything can be accomplished. One of the most

My Love For You (part 3)

As I promised, today I am going to narrate how that summer when I met my girlfriend (now my wife) came to an end and something unexpected happened.

As I said in my previous stories that year I ended my schooling and decided to find a job till I decided what I was going to do. My wish was to become a teacher but to do that I had to go to college which meant a couple of years without money in my pockets. I wished for so many things that several of

Nothing is more detrimental than no help in planning a wedding. Which in my case, is exactly what's happening. My 'legal' wedding is set for All Hallows Eve 2014. And am I getting any kind of help from either family? Of course not. My own mother doesn't even believe I'm getting married. On the bright side, at least my future husband goes along with my ideas. I have to do all the planning, even putting in my own engagement announcement in the paper. But you know what's most irritating out of it

In the United States, there is a great deal of importance placed on wedding days. And the more emphasis there is on the executing a grand event, the more pressure that exists for those who are planning said wedding. With the recent explosion in the wedding business (experts estimate it is worth over ten billion dollars per year) has come a greater stress to create the perfect day.

This has led to post-nuptial depression – a condition suffered by women of all ages in the day
